. To all whom it may cmwera: I

Be itknown that I, Grocer. PULLMAN,-L citizen of the United States,residing at New York, in the county of New York, State of New York, haveinvented a new and useful Time Recorder; and I do hereby declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description ofthe invention,such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains tomake and use the same.

The invention relates to time recorders and has for its object toprovide a device of this character, which may be attached to a door andoperated each time a lock carried by the door is unlocked or locked, andthe time of looking or unlocking the door lock, recorded ona timecontrolled dial. Also to provide means whereby the recording device maybe operated by a watchmans key independently of the door lock, therebyrecording the exact time the watchman inspected the door on his rounds.

A further object is to provide a rockable member having a piercing pointat one of its ends, said rockable arm being normally held outwardly atits upper end by a weight carried by its lower end below its pivotalpoint, and rocked inwardly when the lock is locked or unlocked, or whenthe watchmans key is turned by a. laterally movable member which.IIIOVG'S outwardly and engages the lower end of the pivoted arm,thereby forcing its upper end inwardly for recording the time on a timecontrolled disc. Also to provide a pivoted member having a plurality ofspaced arms, between which arms the pivoted time recording arm rocks,said spaced arms forming means whereby the pivoted arm which is slidablymounted on a shaftmay be positioned for, piercing the recording dial atvarious points spaced from its center, thereby allowing the samerecording dial to be used for a number of days, for instance for a week.

With the above and other objects in view, y

the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts ashereinafter set forth, shown in the drawings, described and claimed, itbeing understood that changes In the drawings I igure 1 is a frontelevation of the recording device, showing the cover thereof open tobetter illustrate the structure.

Figure 2 is a top plan view of the time recording device, part beingbroken away to show the meansior detach-ably securing a time recordingdevice to the inner "face of a doorl i 1 Figure 3 is a side elevation ofthe device showing the same attached to adoor and showing parts partlyin section to better illustrate the structure.

Figure 4 is'a perspective view of the guide bracket for guiding thelaterally movable operating plate outwardly.

Figure 5 is perspective view of the operating arm which is engaged by avertically movable member operated by the lock or by a watchmans key. I

Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates a portion of aconventional form of door and 2 the free edge of said door. The door 1at its free end swings outwardly from the vertical side '3 of aconventional side of door frame 4:. Secured to the door 1 in anysuitable manner is a lock 5, which look has outwardly extendingapertured lugs 6, which interengage withapertured lugs 7 of a keeperplate 8 carried by the vertical side 3 of the door frame, and with saidapertured lugs the vertically disposedportions 9 of a keeper 10, whichalso moves vertically when the lock is unlocked or locked, cooperate.The lock 5 may be provided with any suitable mechanism for moving thekeeper-1O upwardly or downwardly and may be controlled by a' key 11. Ex

tending upwardly, from the upper side or the keeper 10 isa verticallydisposed shaft 12, the upper end of which is provided with ahorizontally disposed head 13, which head is moved upwardly when thelock is locked and downwardly when the same is unlocked.

Secured tothe rear face 14 of the door 1 is a plate 15, which plate atits lower end and sides is provided with channels 16 and 17, in whichchannels the flanges 18 of the time recording device 19 engage and isheld, said time device 19 being held against upward movement by thepivoted dog 20, the lug 21 of which cooperating with a slot 22 in theplate 15. Disposed within the time controlled movable disc, the lowerend of said recorded arm being weighted, said weighted end forming meansfor normally holding the upper end of the recording arm outwardly, ahorizontally disposed plate carried by the casing, means whereby said 7plate will move outwardly when moved in one direction for engaging therockable recording arm and inwardly when moved in the other direction,spring means for normally holding said plate in its inner position and 7means for moving saidplate longitudinally and outwardly against theaction of the spring means during a recording operation.

2. A time recording device comprising a casing, a time controlledmovable disc'carried by said casing, avertically disposed andhorizontally pivoted recording arm carried by the casing, the upper endof said recording arm being provided with a piercing member adapted tocooperate with the time controlled movable disc, a horizontally disposedlongitudinally and out- 3. The combination with a time recordercomprising a time controlled movable disc and a horizontally pivoted andhorizontally movable recording arm, of means for holdmg sald recordingarmin varlous positions, said. means comprislng a hinged plate having aplurality of spaced teeth adapted to have disposed therebetween therecording arm.

4. The combination with a time recorder comprising a time controlledmovable disc and a pivoted recording arm pivotally mounted andlongitudinally movable on a shaft, of means for holding said recordingarm in various positions on the shaft, said means comprising a toothedplate disposed adjacent the shaft and between the teeth of which therecording arm may be disposed.

5. The combination with a time recorder comprising a time controlledmovable disc and a pivoted recording arm pivotally mounted andlongitudinally movable on a shaft, of means for holding said recordingarm in various positions on the shaft,. said means comprising a springactuated toothed plate disposed adjacent the shaft and between theteethof which the recording arm may be disposed.
